What drying runs into in Pearl City

Local housing stock
Only 12.8 percent of Pearl City's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1974 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1974 with nearly nine in ten homes predating 1990, the recurring construction is a concrete block ground floor with timber framing above it, so a building has two entirely different assemblies stacked on one another and the horizontal joint where they meet is where water moves from one to the other.
Climate & seasonal risk
December brings 6.84 of the 53.38 inches Pearl City sees in a normal year, and August averages 82.2 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at AIEA 0.7 ENE 2.6 miles away and temperatures at HONOLULU INTL AP 5.7 miles away. December is the wettest month at nearly seven inches of a fifty-three inch year and nothing comes near freezing, so the year is warm throughout and there is no cold dry stretch; the block half of the building releases slowly in every month, and the timber half does not.
How water losses tend to end in Pearl City
- Two different assemblies stacked in one building, so the same loss needs masonry drying below and framing drying above
- A horizontal joint between them, so water from the upper floor enters the block at the plate line and is then held
- Block that releases slowly in a climate with no dry season, so the lower floor sets the finish date for the whole house
